Now is a good time as any to read Yahoo finance for Cool Products and Free Services. There's a lot of good stuff here we're talking about free entertainment, financial advice, health care, technology and more. There are alternatives to Groupon for group couponing and discount sites

Yipit.com collects deals from Groupon and its competitors and makes recommendations based on preferences you set. Miss a deal the first time around? CoupRecoup.com provides a second-chance marketplace. Scoutmob.com offers deals via daily e-mails or texts. Unlike Groupon, Scoutmob offers half-off coupons for free. With a little work and some common sense, these sites can save a ton of money on things you would buy anyway at full price!
